Community Tasting Note

Sunday, December 30, 2012 - A blend of 50% Syrah, 30% Grenache, and 20% Carignan boasting a dark black core and a bright ruby red rim. Quite reticent at first with awkward aromas of dried grains and a simple acidic flavor, a general note this wine really requires at least 24 hours of air to open up. On day two there are pronounced floral aromas, followed by blackberry liqueur, cranberries, licorice, lavender, tarragon, black pepper, clove s and sweet vanilla. A bit light on the palate with sour cherries and blackberries on the attack leading to a weak mid-palate filled with strawberries, licorice, and tart acidity that keeps the wine fresh. The finish is short showing a slight orange peel flavor, black pepper, crushed stones, and brisk acidity. A mid-bodied wine that will probably not offer more, drink now or store for a few years.
